Two new papers from the McCulloch lab reveal how the body changes after experiencing a stroke. 1. Stroke and “fight-or-flight” response weakens the immune system > edin.ac/4a166dD 2. Long term changes to the intestinal microbiome seen after stroke > edin.ac/4jR2LBl

Dr Julija Krupic and researchers from the UK DRI at UCL, the University of Cambridge and the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL, have developed and validated a fully automated Novel Object Recognition (NOR) test that runs entirely in a mouse’s home cage. www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/hom...

Great team-work behind our paper just published on stroke-induced immune cell changes, involving groups across @edinunineuro.bsky.social @edinuni-irr.bsky.social @ukdri.ac.uk @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social. A pandemic in midst of study not anticipated at outset!

I’m excited to start 2026 with our new collaborative research paper examining circulating B cell populations in acute ischemic stroke patients, which is particularly exciting as we see translation of our previous data from animal models into patients. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Delighted our new paper is out describing how stroke alters systemic B cell properties, relevant to recovery & complications after stroke eg infection, cognitive decline. Pleasure to work with our collaborators & thanks to our funders for supporting www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Acute ischaemic stroke alters the composition and function of circulating B cells

Distinct B cell populations are found in circulation, including those with innate-like properties, that have varied functions in pathogen protection, …

Huge congratulations to UK DRI Founding Director Prof Bart De Strooper who has been awarded an Honorary CBE for his contributions to dementia research! 👏 Read more👉 buff.ly/xhKD5Aj

🎉 This week, we’re proud to officially launch the BHF-UK DRI Centre for Vascular Dementia Research, in partnership with the British Heart Foundation. The centre will explore how changes in vascular health contribute to dementia - paving the way for new treatments👉 buff.ly/5ZEjQx8

Very pleased to see this published! Team effort from several labs @edinunineuro.bsky.social and Carpanini lab @cardiffunilib.bsky.social @ukdri.ac.uk - bit more support for microglia resilience involving TREM2 in chronic brain disease. www.frontiersin.org/journals/neu...

Research into rare conditions is vital to enhance care for people affected and open up new treatment options. In doing so, it also sheds light on the underlying mechanisms applicable to other more common conditions. Find out more about the Hunt Lab⬇️ buff.ly/3QzKAlI
